I like reading fiction. My favourite author(s) are Wilber Smith and Desmond Bagley. I like reading for relaxation and for gathering infomation.

Review

I have recently read Fat Man On A Bicycle by Tom Vernon. This is a story of an over weight journalist who decided to cycle from London down through France to the Mediterranean. A very funny book, easy to read, but also very informative especially when it comes to French cuisine.

I like reading mystery and invention. My favourite author(s) Anthony Horowitz. I like reading mystery and adventure because they are exciting and interesting.

Review

The Falcon’s malteser by Anthony Horowitz. This book is the first in a series of three. Detective Tim Diamond is given a package to look after but the owner of the package is killed and Tim Diamond is blamed. Tim Diamond is not a very good detective so he gets his younger brother, Nick to help him catch the killers. This book is exciting and quite funny.

I like reading sport and news articles. I read to keep up to date with all the sport news and  the world.

Review

It is not a book but my favourite daily read is the back pages of The Sun newspaper. The writing and journalism style is edgy and up to date with daring opinions and reviews. It has a comprehensive overview of all the worlds sports with upcoming axtures read for all sport fans!

I like reading non-fiction, science, poetry and technology. My favourite auther(s) are Martin Bees, John Gribbin, Roger Penrose, Bill Bryson and Robert Burns. I like to read because I can absorb infomation at my own pace and digest infomation whilst reading.

Review

The Road To Reality by Roger Penrose. It was a very difficult book to read with lots of mathmatics in it. Roger would put a smiley face at the bottom of the page if it was an easy equation or a grumpy face if it was a hard equetion.

By John Henderson

Here are some reviews by the children of the school.

The wishing chair is a fantastic book. It is about a chair that is magic. Molly and Peter are brother and sister and they go to magic lands with pixies, knomes, faries and other magical creatures and which ever place they say they want to go to the wishing chair flys them to it.

By Olivia Jenkinson

Horrid Henry is a horrid boy who is bad all the time unless he gets to go to eat or go to a reasterant. His grade at school is so bad they had to make a score lower than a F.

By Toby Benson

Hurricane Gold by Charlie Higson. Hurricane Gold is one of those books that realy grips you with a mixture of action and horror. This book is so carefully weaved together that form the very first chapter you imeaditly want to read the rest of it, being a younge bond book it is crammed full of action and litle twists of horror exactly where your not expecting it.
